Inventor Nesting is an advanced solution that automates the time-consuming process of spreading sheet metal cuts on a flat sheet. Nesting automatically searches for the most optimal plate layout, which will enable the best process efficiency. In addition, it allows the user to influence the key parameters of the layout in such a way that the layout is even better and corresponds to the current needs of the user.
Autodesk Inventor Nesting is part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection and acts as an overlay for Inventor Professional thanks to the integration of these two environments making any changes to the model automatically introduces changes to Nesting, making the work quick and easy.
The program allows us to export the finished sheet layout to a 3D model and DXF format based on which the cutting paths can be generated on the machine. It is worth mentioning that the PD&M Collection also includes an advanced CAM module, thanks to which, by using the collection, we can deal with sheet metal elements in a comprehensive manner, from design to production.
